Wilderness: An interactive atlas of animals

A
beautifully presented, hardcover non-fiction book, Wilderness provides a fact-filled overview of the world’s animals,
perfect for readers aged five to eight.

The
book is divided by habitat, from ‘On Safari’ and ‘Sea Search’ to ‘High
Mountains’ and more. The book is illustration-heavy and interactive, with
pop-ups and lots of flaps to lift, revealing fascinating facts about quirky
animals and diverse eco-systems. A particularly fun spread is ‘Trek to the
Poles’, with animals from the Arctic at the top, and those from the Antarctic
upside down at the bottom, encouraging readers to flip the book around.

While
the book is broad in its overview, a unique aspect is its focus on lesser-known
creatures. From the pale-throated sloth to the red-lipped batfish, kids will
delight in discovering the world’s animals beyond the usual suspects. The book
would make a great gift, and would also be a handy resource for school
projects.
